Lots of wonderful memories were made by all in our group at this lovely cabin on Lake Hartwell. The owners put a lot of thought into anticipating what families would need during their stay. The kitchen had everything we needed, there were plenty of towels and linens, and a washer and dryer on each level. We particularly enjoyed the first level screened in porch. We ate our meals at the table, and played games afterward. There is an outside fire pit and yes, we made sâmores. There are even metal skewers for the marshmallows!There is a nice, sturdy dock just a short walk from the cabin. It was a great place to start the day with a cup of coffee. The cabin is in a quiet neighborhood. The only thing you hear is the beautiful sound of birds. We sure enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
Everything was wonderful except the beds. Most, except the king were either too hard or too soft. A couple of our guests left after 1 night because of the beds. Suggestion: a King bed in the big bedroom downstairs and then maybe 2 queens in the other bedroom. Another queen in the other small bedroom upstairs.
This was our second year staying here and WOW. The upgrades to the home are beautiful. We will definitely be back next year! Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us.
We had a great, short, albeit rainy weekend stay. The house has a well stocked kitchen, lots of seating and pretty much everything we needed for a relaxing time with our family.
We had the most amazing stay over Labor Day weekend . This was our 3rd trip to Lake Hartwell and the third home we have rented. The house is well equipped with everything you need and the host was very responsive and friendly We will definitely be back !
Our family had a wonderful time at this spacious lake house! The kids absolutely loved fishing and jumping off the dock. The house was perfect for our family and provided a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Our boys asked to come back here every year.
The upstairs area was bigger and nicer than expected. The downstairs enclosed bedroom and bathroom were fine. It was a fairly level walk to the lake. The owners responded fast when the a/c broke down.
The ice maker didn't dispense. The kayaks were full of rain water, missing carrying handles and covered in bird poop. No indoor access to the basement bedrooms. The two "make-do" bedrooms are literally just beds in the basement. One is behind the furnace next to a big pile of stuff covered with a tarp. Even our adventurous teens said it was "creepy" and refused to sleep there. The paddles for the ping pong table had busted handles. There wasn't enough hot water for everyone to take a shower at night.
The dock was the biggest disappointed of all. It was quite small to begin with, and the owners boat was tied to it, which we had to request be moved, to be able to tie up our own boats. The deep end of the dock was sitting in 3 1/2 feet of water. There was another 10-12 feet of walkway that could have pushed the dock out into somewhat deeper water. When we called about it, we were told that WE were welcome to push it out. We tried, but there was not enough cable to move it out more than a foot. This meant the kids couldn't play and jump off the dock and stepping off the swim ladder (which was partially unbolted and my husband had to fix) we were standing in mud over our ankles. There was a busy road nearby and it was LOUD. It was really just an unpleasant and disappointing stay.
The house was a nice size. There was seven in our group and we had plenty of room to relax. The house was clean and well stocked. The host and owner was real good to work with. If I had a question about anything they got right back with me. I had no intention of having any pets but my daughter had a last minute problem with her dog sitter and had to bring them. I contacted them three days before arriving and they got right back with me so I could get everything arranged. The fenced yard was great because we did not have to put them on a leash every time we took them out. Had a lot of fun swimming in the lake and kayaking. The only problem we had was the basement room where my sons slept always had a musky smell. Not a problem for me but most of my family likes going to bed with a tv but there is only one in the living room.
Clean, well stocked, flat to the water, lots of parking. Only negatives were 2 of the bathrooms had broken toilet seats and the dock had drifted making access tricky.
We enjoyed a multi-generation family Christmas at this wonderful lakeside home. Best stocked house we've ever stayed in. This house has everything you need for everyone in the family with plenty of room for everyone.
